## Resource

Palantir just reported Q2 2026 earnings, and the headline number, revenue nearly doubling year over year, only tells part of the story. We go beyond the standard quarterly earnings review to unpack what's actually driving Palantir's acceleration: AIP, its AI platform built to help enterprises deploy AI without handing proprietary data to the large AI labs. We look at the data behind the deployment phase of the AI cycle, why US commercial customer revenue jumped 149 percent even as customer count grew far more slowly, and what nearly 220 million dollar-plus deals signal about enterprise demand. We also run a reverse discounted cash flow on Palantir's current valuation, walk through management's own eighteen month growth targets, and revisit the ethical and government contract concerns we flagged when we first covered this stock two years ago. This is a research-backed look at whether Palantir's AIP business justifies its valuation, and whether it belongs in a long-term semiconductor and AI-adjacent portfolio.
